Chopard unveils a limited edition of 100 Japan watches as ambassadors … – FASHIONSNAP.COM

Chopard has launched a limited edition of its Japan of its popular Alpine Eagle watch. It was also announced that rugby player Keita Inagaki has been appointed as a new ambassador. The original movie was premiered at the National Stadium and a talk session was held.

The Alpine Eagle is a timepiece based on St. Moritz, invented by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the current co-president of Chopard, at the end of the 1970s. The rich nature of the Alps and the strength of the eagles that inhabit the area are sources of inspiration. The pattern on the dial is based on the glow of an eagle’s eye, and the shape of the bracelet is designed in the image of a rocky mountain area.

President Scheufele, who came to Japan for this event, said, “Actually, the country where the Alpine Eagle is most popular is Japan, and we want to express our gratitude to them, so we have decided to release a limited edition of the Japan edition of SHIKKOKU.” As the name suggests, the dial is black. The special design pays homage to Zen aesthetics and will be available in a limited edition of 100 bottles at Chopard boutiques and Alpine Eagle stores nationwide (2,156,000 yen including tax).

Inagaki, who was appointed as the new ambassador of Alpine Eagle, took the stage wearing black, which he said is his favorite color, and said, “I often wear a watch in practice and games. “The amount of time I can be a rugby player is not infinite and I want to see that precious time with this wonderful watch.”

He also mentioned his wife, model Takako Arai, whom he married last year. “It was my wife who changed my life, and I am grateful for the fact that she brought a lot of ideas to me when I was stiff and supported me even when I was busy. That’s why I want to support my busy wife if I have time.” In the original movie that was released, he showed off his majestic figure standing on top of the Alps.

Louis Vuitton introduces Kaleidoscope-inspired Japan limited edition highwatch, the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Kaleidoscope

©LOUIS VUITTON©LOUIS VUITTON

Louis Vuitton is pleased to announce the Japan limited edition Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Kaleidoscope. This new watch combines the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional croisonnay enamel with an artistic reinterpretation of monogram flowers. To achieve this bold kaleidoscope, Louis Vuitton has adopted a unique flying tourbillon movement, entirely produced in La Fabrice du Temps Louis Vuitton.

©LOUIS VUITTON©LOUIS VUITTON

In 2017, when Louis Vuitton designed a new case to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Tambour watch, the Maison took care to adhere to the aesthetic code in order to make the model a success. The rounded and inverted curves of the Tambour Moon bring a new crescent moon profile to this timepiece. When worn, the case creates an exquisite light show that perfectly matches the design of the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Kaleidoscope. The main source of inspiration is the monogrammed flower, which Louis Vuitton first introduced in 1896. Michel Navas, master watchmaker of La Fabrice du Temps Louis Vuitton, explains: “By transforming this watch into a kaleidoscope, we wanted to create a modern version of it. This is also a subtle tribute to Japan culture, where the repetition of a single motif is often seen, especially origami.” The timepiece will be available exclusively in Japan, a country that is important to both the Maison and watch collectors.

A dial reminiscent of a painting

The Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Kaleidoscope is a modern homage to the ancient technique of cloisonné enamel. A watchmaker draws a pattern with gold thread to create a fine partition, after which the enamel is poured.

Louis Vuitton chose to make the details of the croisonnais enamel shine by not putting symbols on the canvas of the dial. The dial is therefore entirely made of Anita Porsche enamelry. Purple is the hardest color to produce when enameled. Perfecting the hues in this model required weeks of research. Louis Vuitton sought multiple vibrant purple tones to create gradations and enhance the kaleidoscope effect of the dial, along with the blue variation. This extremely delicate process requires a perfect balance between the components that make up the enamel: silica powder and metal oxides. It’s a technical break that can only be accomplished by a professional, precise and skilled hand like Anita Porsche. The decoration of the dial alone takes nearly two weeks to complete.

Once the dial is finished, the seductive aesthetic of the watch face is further enhanced by the power and delicacy of the blue and purple hues. This effect is further enhanced by the stunning brushwork of the endless repeating monogrammed flower pattern. The central motif, painted in cloisoné enamel, seems to repeat itself beyond the frame of the dial, even though it is like an exceptional mandala.

©LOUIS VUITTON©LOUIS VUITTON

A movement that aspires high

To match the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon with the dynamism of its kaleidoscopic face, Louis Vuitton has decided to equip the watch with one of the most beautiful automatic movements. It is the flying tourbillon calibre LV 81 movement designed, developed and assembled by La Fabric du Temps Louis Vuitton. The iconic regulator with its sleek design sits at 6 o’clock, so the “V” named after Gaston-Louis Vuitton can occupy center stage in the heart of the flying tourbillon carriage. On the caseback, you can also see the microrotor and watch mechanism through the sapphire crystal. This delicate decoration is reminiscent of the striped Trianon canvas made in 1858.

©LOUIS VUITTON©LOUIS VUITTON

With the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Kaleidoscope, Louis Vuitton has succeeded in reconstructing the most extraordinary complications watch, while maintaining a traditional yet innovative aesthetic.

Isetan Shinjuku store|Japan’s first directly managed corner of “Breitling” is born … – IGNITE

Breitling, a luxury watch brand for pilots, will be the first in Japan to open a directly managed corner in a department store at the Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 5th Floor Watch.

The fixtures, which have introduced our original design concept “Industrial Loft”, are always on display 80 sophisticated products, including rare models. Here, you can be the first to check out the brand’s latest releases, including the newly announced Japan limited edition models.

In addition, if you purchase the product by Sunday, May 7, you will receive a special tote bag that is not for sale. Quantities are limited, so if you are interested, please check as soon as possible.

Limited edition model of Japan using naturally derived “mother-of-pearl”

The first star of the directly managed corner is the “White Mother-of-Pearl Japan Edition”, which has joined the brand’s representative “Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41”.

The biggest feature is the naturally derived “pearl mother of pearl” on the dial, which wears a unique and sophisticated brilliance that no two are the same.

On the other hand, the three chronograph counters are tightened in gray, while the emblem, indexes, and various hands (hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph totalizers) are encased in gold, giving off a chic and glamorous aura.

The strap is available in brown alligator leather or a sporty seven-strand metal bracelet. It has a power reserve of about 70 hours and water resistance to 3 bar (30 meters).

Details common to the latest Navitimer series

Flat slide rules, domed crystals, and easy-to-navigate knurled bezels are common details of the latest Navitimer series.

In addition, the slimmer silhouette of the rotor allows the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 to be seen in action more clearly from the caseback.

The Isetan Shinjuku store, where Breitling’s directly managed corner was born, is said to boast the top sales among department stores nationwide. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to look for a new partner as you refurbish your suit or business bag.

<p>The LAMY/Campus Soft Ring Notebook, which was released in November 2022 as Kokuyo’s first collaboration with LAMY, was well received by fans of both brands and LAMY safari.</p>

Features of <

KOKUYO’s “book paper” with a history of about 90 years is used as the middle paper.

In 1913 (Taisho 2), Kokuyo began manufacturing Western-style ledgers. At that time, we started the challenge of developing original paper that did not get caught even if it was written with the ultra-fine pen used for writing ledgers, and did not bleed ink or slip through. After that, it took nine years to develop, and around 1930, “book paper” was born.
“Book paper” is a neutral paper with an extra-thick mouth with a firm texture, has firmness and firmness, and is resistant to folds and wrinkles, so it has excellent long-term storage. In addition, the surface is smooth, and the density is slightly high and tight, so it is difficult to get unevenness due to pen pressure, realizing a high-quality writing quality as a high-class writing paper. Since it goes well with fountain pens, we used it for the inside paper of “Colors by LAMY safari> < Survey Field Book".
The border is a 3mm grid with gray printing.

(left) book paper, (right) medium paper border

Cover design with a special feeling unique to collaboration

It comes in three colors: Spring Green, Aqua Sky, and Light Rose, and has a glossy finish (laminated film processing) that matches the glossy texture of Safari.
While maintaining the feature of the survey field book’s “hard cover that is easy to write on while standing”, the words “Colors by LAMY safari” are stamped in foil on the front, and a life-size safari fountain pen line drawing is printed on the back.

【Topic】Experience Dyson’s new dryer! Japan limited edition model is quite attractive – Home Appliances Watch

I had the opportunity to try Dyson Supersonic Shine, a hair dryer that Dyson will release in May as a limited edition Japan. It is a model with a unique attachment “gloss tool” that can be blown with one hand, and this tool was very good, so I would like to report the feeling of use.

The Dyson Supersonic Shine is a limited Japan dryer with three magnetic attachments. It is scheduled to go on sale in May and will be priced at 48,800 yen.

There are three attachments: a “glossing tool” that realizes blowing with one hand, a “low-temperature tool” that lowers the air temperature by up to 20°C, and a “smooth tool” that dries with a smooth breeze.

The air temperature can be set to 4 levels including cold air, and the wind speed can be set to 3 levels. Let’s use the gloss tool right away. When I first saw this glossy tool, I had the honest impression that the shape was unique and difficult to use.

However, when I actually used it, I could use it like combing my hair with a regular brush, and I could easily blow my hair without any technique. The tool part looked small, so I thought that with my hair with a lot of hair, I would have to blow it many times to make it beautiful, but I was able to finish half blowing without combing it a few times.

This glossy tool was inspired by the company’s hair styler, the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler. With the power of Dyson’s V9 digital motor, the high-pressure airflow creates a precisely angled airflow, and the Coanda effect pulls the hair to the surface of the brush to straighten the hair.

With a normal blow, you need to hold a dryer in one hand and a brush in the other, which is quite difficult if you try to do it yourself, but with a gloss tool, the dryer and brush are integrated, so you can blow with one hand.

When I looked at the hair after blowing, it was well straightened, and the finish was enough without the use of a straightening iron.

If it’s a normal blow, you need to hold a dryer in one hand and a brush in the other.If you have a gloss tool, you can blow with one hand

In addition, this tool can store brushes and switch to “floating hair suppression mode”. The Coanda effect pulls long hair towards you and hides the short floating hair inside the hair, making your hair cohesive.

After blowing, I switched to the floating hair suppression mode and applied the tool to stroke the hair. Before use, the short floating hair protruded from the pyonpyon, but after use, it became inconspicuous and I was able to feel the high effect.

Put the Gloss tool into hair suppression mode

The remaining two tools are actually items that already exist as attachments for Dyson dryers. The low-temperature tool was originally named “Gentle Air Ring” and the smooth tool was named “Smoothing Nozzle”.

This time, in order to develop it as a Japan limited model, the name was changed to make it easier to understand. The functions are the same, but you can intuitively understand what kind of function the Japanese tool name has rather than katakana.

The low-temperature tool was originally developed under the name “Gentle Airing” (center) and the smooth tool was named “Smoothing Nozzle” (right).

It is an expensive product at 48,800 yen, but according to Dyson, the dryer market is growing with models over 30,000 yen, and it seems that young people in particular are looking for beauty-specific products.

Not only can you dry your hair with one unit, but you can also blow it, and it is attractive that you can set your hair without having to prepare multiple styling items. Dyson’s hair care appliances are evolving year by year, and I look forward to their future development.
